I agree that they probably are burn marks.. I can't really tell you how long because there are too many variables like the distance between the shirt and the dryer, the temperature, the type of ink ect.. What I would suggest is getting a laser temp gun or some ink temp test strips to monitor the temperature. Check with the manufacturer of the ink you are using for cure temperatures..
Curing white t-shirts yellow marks
Okay so I've never really ran into this problem but I just got a call from my customer that I just did 40 shirts for and he's saying that there was some marks on te t-shirts I printed he said some on the front and by the neck yellow marks...I'm guessing their burn marks from the flash dryer because when I was curing the neck tags and wash care I let it sit for a little too long because I couldn't see any smoke I possibly burned a few of them...so my question is to cure white shirts with the flash dryer since I don't have a conveyor dryer what's the standard time and should I raise my dryer up a little bit and when curing smaller print do I look for smoke because I barely ever saw any I dont have a heat gun at this time I will get one or a conveyor dryer soon but for now I have to redo the shirts do
I'm looking for any advice.

Ok I'm probably going to get one tomorrow and use it how far should the heater be from the shirt?? And how hot should the temp gun read?I agree that they probably are burn marks..

Burn marks are indicitive of getting close to a fire in a shop. I reccomend either get an auto flash or some kind of conveyor. Used conveyors like the little ones (Vastex db30 style) plug into 110v if need be, and are safer, and actually cure better.
Sorry you had to do a redo, but flashes were really made for just that, flashing. I am easily distracted, and I could way to easily scorch or flame a garment on a flash if I started yakking to someone.
